CMOS, Quad, Serial-Interface
8-Bit DAC
_______________General Description
The MAX500 is a quad, 8-bit, voltage-output digital-to-
analog converter (DAC) with a cascadable serial inter-
face. The IC includes four output buffer amplifiers and
input logic for an easy-to-use, two- or three-wire serial
interface. In a system with several MAX500s, only one
serial data line is required to load all the DACs by cas-
cading them. The MAX500 contains double-buffered
logic and a 10-bit shift register that allows all four DACs
to be updated simultaneously using one control signal.
There are three reference inputs so the range of two of
the DACs can be independently set while the other two
DACs track each other.
The MAX500 achieves 8-bit performance over the full
operating temperature range without external trimming.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX500 has four matched voltage-output digital-to-
analog converters (DACs). The DACs are “inverted”
R-2R ladder networks which convert 8 digital bits into
equivalent analog output voltages in proportion to the
applied reference voltage(s). Two DACs in the MAX500
have a separate reference input while the other two
DACs share one reference input. A simplified circuit
diagram of one of the four DACs is provided in Figure 1.

of the V

inputs is code dependent. The lowest
value, approximately 11kΩ (5.5kΩ for V
REF
A/B), occurs
when the input code is 01010101. The maximum value
of infinity occurs when the input code is 00000000.
Because the input resistance at V
REF
is code depen-
dent, the DAC’s reference sources should have an out-
put impedance of no more than 20Ω (no more than
10Ω for V
REF
A/B). The input capacitance at V
REF
is
also code dependent and typically varies from 15pF to
35pF (30pF to 70pF for V
REF
A/B). V

Output Buffer Amplifiers
All voltage outputs are internally buffered by precision
unity-gain followers, which slew at greater than 3V/µs.
When driving 2kΩ in parallel with 100pF with a full-scale
transition (0V to +10V or +10V to 0V), the output settles
to ±1/2LSB in less than 4µs. The buffers will also drive
2kΩ in parallel with 500pF to 10V levels without oscilla-
tion. Typical dynamic response and settling perfor-
mance of the MAX500 is shown in Figures 2 and 3.
A simplified circuit diagram of an output buffer is
shown in Figure 4. Input common-mode range to
AGND is provided by a PMOS input structure. The out-
put circuitry incorporates a pull-down circuit to actively
drive V
OUT
to within +15mV of the negative supply
(V
SS
). The buffer circuitry allows each DAC output to
